Abstract
A method, system, or device determine when media content is to be displayed. The method can include receiving media content on a broadcast channel from a content feed. The method can also include receiving an identifier for upcoming media content from an automatic content recognition (ACR) system in response to a trigger event. The method can include receiving overlay content from an overlay content server. The method can include storing the overlay content at a memory device. The method can include determining a time that the media content is to be displayed using the identifier.
Claims20
An automatic content recognition (ACR) system comprising:
- data processing hardware;
- and
- memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
- receiving live media content from a content feed of a broadcaster;
- and
- receiving a fingerprint identifier of a stored fingerprint satisfying a query fingerprint of the live media content, the fingerprint identifier identifying:
- a broadcast channel associated with the corresponding stored fingerprint;
- and
- an anchor time point for the broadcast channel corresponding to a time where:
- the live media content is displayed plus a latency time period;
- and
- overlay content is to be superimposed onto the live media content;
- and
- causing superimposing of the overlay content over the live media content at the anchor time point.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at data processing hardware, live media content from a content feed of a broadcaster;
- and
- receiving, at the data processing hardware, a fingerprint identifier of a stored fingerprint satisfying a query fingerprint of the live media content, the fingerprint identifier identifying:
- a broadcast channel associated with the corresponding stored fingerprint;
- and
- an anchor time point for the broadcast channel corresponding to a time where:
- the live media content is displayed plus a latency time period;
- and
- overlay content is to be superimposed onto the live media content;
- and
- causing superimposing of the overlay content over the live media content at the anchor time point.
